NextPitch tells you why. The same level of insight teams pay analysts for, on a phone, in a couple taps. MY STORY I pitched at UC Riverside. Every outing, someone was stuck on a clipboard trying to chart pitches by hand, and the data went nowhere after the game ended. I built NextPitch myself, as a senior in college, because that didn't make sense to me anymore. I still run it myself today, so if you ever have a question, you're texting me, not a support queue. Free to start. Coach plan unlocks full history, hitter analytics, and opponent scouting. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
